God of the Mountain and God of the Valley

The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; those whose spirit is crushed he will save. Many are the trials of the just man but from them all the Lord will rescue him.Ps.33:19,20

David writes at a low point in his life, where he has nowhere to turn but to God. When he stops looking around and looks up, God draws him above his circumstances.

King David was so defeated he had to feign madness so King Abimelech would disregard him with scorn. His spirit was certainly crushed to sink so low. Yet he knew God well enough to look up and beyond, enabling him to move forward.

Yesterday I met a man in a cemetery, weeping. We talked about things of God and departed thanking each other for encouragement we had each received. That's how God works. He is close to the broken hearted. Those whose spirit is crushed he will save.

Thank you Jesus that you are God of the mountain and God of the valley. There is nowhere your consolation cannot reach.
Little Flower, please pray for me.
